Cannot Delete HomeKit Devices / Tiles Missing

I have 2 old Sony TVs stuck in my HomeKit configuration that I cannot delete… the app keeps telling me they are “Not Responding” but I am unable to see their respective tiles (they are missing) so there is no way to open the device settings and delete them.

The TVs were added as Airplay 2 devices so they do not use a hub (if they did I could just delete the hub to solve this). Does anyone know how I can get the tiles back?


The tiles do show up in my list of devices when I create an automation - but there is no option to long-press/delete them from that screen.


Has this happened to anyone else? Is there any solution that does not require me to reset my entire configuration?

I have lights in mine I can’t delete via the Home App. The only way to delete them would be to do it via their own Lighting App. Or remove the Bridge. Which is now I added them in the first place.


Is there a setting in your TV that can disable Homekit?

When you see the tile on the automations is it showing the correct room it’s in? Perhaps you’ve placed it in another room? Look in all Rooms. Sometimes there was an error adding it to a room.
